The Broomes was very comfortable and close enough to the shops. It's enjoyable and worth visiting for a relaxing stay.

Lovely flat, with everything you need for your time away. Location was perfect, walking distance of the shops/restaurants in Whitstable centre.The flat doesn't have it's own parking so you are relying on finding a space on the road outside which wasn't a problem when we went in January but might be more of a problem in the summer but I could be wrong. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay. Was concerned when reading a recent review regarding damp, but there was no evidence of this. Yes, the communal area could do with an update, but really isn’t an issue unless you plan to sleep in the hallway! The flat itself is well maintained, clean & well thought out with everything we needed. Spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated rooms, as shown in the pictures. If ever in the area again, we would definitely rebook. Parking was easy & communication with the owner was super responsive. Thank you!
